Stars Blank Panthers

     The Florida Panthers were shut out by the Dallas Stars 3-0 on Wednesday night at BB&T Center. It was the second contest of a three-game set between both clubs. 
     The Panthers were blanked for the first time this season. Keith Yandle tied Steve Larmer with the third longest streak of consecutive games played in NHL history at 884.
     Dallas(6-4-4) get in front 1-0 just 53 seconds into the contest. John Klingberg rifled a slap shot from the right point past Chris Driedger following a pass from Joe Pavelski. It was the first goal for Klingberg in the last 10 games. 
     It became a 2-0 lead for the Stars on the power play at the 2:17 mark. Justin Dowling passed from the right wing to Radek Faksa to the right of the crease. His shot was saved, however Esa Lindell raced in and scored his second tally this season with a forehand shot from the top of the crease. It was Lindell's first goal since opening night against the Nashville Predators on January 22. 
     Florida(12-4-2) surrendered another goal after they pulled their goalie for an extra attacker during a power play. Pavelski sent a cross-ice pass in the neutral zone and Joel Kiviranta put the puck into the empty net from inside the Panthers blue line with 3:34 remaining in the third period.
